I find myself going here at least once every few weeks now to grab lunch to bring back to the office. Cheap lunch deal - slice of pizza, fries and a drink for about $5. I always have to add a cup of the ranch dressing on the side to dip the hot, salty fries in - my mouth is watering just thinking about eating those. Side note to those who (like me) rarely carry cash on them, they do not accept credit card payments for orders under $5.
Review Source:I am now and will always be a fan of Munchies. The staff, the atmosphere and the food are like an institution. They don't change. And here, I'm good with that.
I order my drink, decide on my to-go lunch order and wait. Usually just a few minutes. The food is packaged up nicely for transport back to my desk.
I've recently learned that their Wednesday special, a chicken and pasta dish, runs out quickly. But if you call ahead, they can reserve some for you. It's pretty tasty. I really enjoyed the grilled chicken.
I've always been a chicken pastina soup lover! Â The pastina is perfect for this delicious concoction.
Finally, I still find excuses to eat the ranch dressing. It's garlicky and makes me the outcast for the afternoon, but it's worth it!
"& Bar" is stretching it. From the outside this place looks like a neighborhood bar where you might find gizzeled old men talking about the good 'ol days. Inside its a child-friendly pizza joint with fair quality pizza and reasonable prices. The pizza is heavy on the dough and light on everything else.
The staff is very nice, and if you like being called "honey" and "sweetheart" then you'll really like this place.
If you're coming for beer, keep looking. The bar was unattended at 5:30pm, not a single customer either. The selection includes several varieties of "the cheep shitty beer, Bud and Miller, all of which I decided to pass on.
Been going here for  decades.
A few years ago when the Economy crashed. I noticed the Slices get smaller. And I get that.
Today probably will be the last time I go for a slice. Sorry to say  But they have been putting Less & less toppings and cheese to the point I don't care for the product any longer, and feel a bit ripped off.
I have been coming here for about 16 years now. Â Ever since I moved here to IL. Â My favorite dish here is the fried clam basket which goes for about $8 but it comes with fries, coleslaw and some bread. Â I get pretty full on it. Â A lot of my coworkers like Munchies because you can get a slice of pizza, fries and a drink for under $5 as you can see from coworker Joe I's review right below this review. Â I am not a big pizza guy but all my coworkers seem to like it. Â I like the fried shrimp dish as well but I always go for the fried clam basket. Â This is not a fancy place and it pretty much goes like this, order your food, wait for it to be called and go pickup your tray of food sit down and eat. Â That is just fine by me BTW. I will continue the clam basket tradition.
Review Source:I've been going to Munchie's for about 10 years. Their food is excellent, in my opinion. Especially - ESPECIALLY!!! The ravioli -- just like home-made, 'cause it is!! On Wednesdays, their special is a chicken pasta. Be sure to order this! It's exceptional. Their pizza's great, too. Can't think of a downside. A great neighborhood restaurant.
Review Source:Ordered a bunch of pizzas for a business lunch for my boss. I've never tasted the pizza, but took the recommendation from others. The pizza might be tasty, but this place needs to work on their phone/customer service skills. Asking to have pizzas delivered and then being told that an delivery person would have to be called in... uh, why are your staffing issues my concern? Couldn't even take the time to calculate the order while I was on the phone. The pizzas must've been delicious, because my boss called asking me to order an additional 3 pizzas (this makes a total of 10 LARGE PIZZAS). I was told that the delivery person was called in "special" for this delivery and was already sent home. Okay, I said. I'll order from Bacci's. They did not seem concerned about the loss in business. By the way, Bacci's was happy to take the order and promised to deliver on time.
Review Source:If this were strictly a pizza joint they would get 5 stars. Their pan pizza is something you'll remember for a very long time, I've been getting them for close to 25 years. NOTHING else about this place is even worth mentioning. The beef, hot dogs and anything else I've ever had is fair at best. If you order a large beef, you'll get a regular size bun, with half a bun placed next to it and the beef laid across both. Invest in some larger buns for crying out loud!! They have pretty good cheese fries, but who has bad cheese fries??
Review Source:Been going to Munchies for over 15 years now, and they make one of my most favorite pizzas in the world! Â A slice of Gourmet, fries and a drink for under $5 makes it a real bargain...and the pizza is mouth-watering good! Â Some places get it right and keep it coming, and that is what Munchies is all about...Thanks a bunch!
Review Source:I go to Munchies all the time now. Â It's right across the street from my own business and the pizza is delicious. Â I recommend the "Gourmet" pizza, but it goes fast. Â In the winter, I usually get a slice of pizza and a small soup for less than $5. Â Great deal, fills me up and tastes delicious!
Review Source:Work nearby, great place to stop in for a quick, cost-efficient lunch!
I usually go with the lunch special consisting of a slice of pizza, fries, and drink. Â You really can't beat it.
The staff is always friendly and they get you in and out in a timely manner.
You have a repeat customer here!
I went here during lunch to grab a bite to eat and this place looks good. They have a good pizza, fries and drink combo for like 4 bucks. Their pizza looked really good but I went with their burger and fries instead. The prices are very reasonable and the foot is very tasty.
I would def be going back to this place more often.
My family has been coming to Munchies all my life and other than Lou Malnatis this is my favorite pizza in the Chicago area. Stop in on lunch and get their slices. They're huge and the cheese and sauce are amazing. Their sandwiches here are tasty too. You can't go wrong here. Â Love Munchies!
Review Source:I kind of dig this place, and if I remember correctly they'll deliver if you live close. I think the pizza's fair, fried zucchini is pretty good, and their pasta is decent for the price. I like that they have beer on tap, and that it's obviously an old high school hangout.
Their salad has big iceberg lettuce leaves. I don't like when places can't be bothered to cut it up to edible pieces. Miss Manners says I should never have to cut my salad, so I suppose people will have to watch me shove a whole leaf in my mouth at once, dressing dribbles and all.
My wife freakin' loves this joint, I guess because it was their local hangout or whatever as a kid in the burbs. Â I've been there with her a few times to stroll down her memory lane, but I gotta tell ya....the pizza is just 'eh'. Â The bar is pretty low level sportsbar-ish too, bud and miller lite and that's about it on tap. Â I suppose that's what you would expect from a place like this. Â Not bad for what it is I suppose, just not my thing.
